As part of its commitment to a sustainable environment, Globe
Telecom encourages bike commuting among its employees as an
alternative option of transportation to reduce carbon footprint.

Called Bike2Globe, the program aims to increase the people’s
awareness on the positive effects of biking to the environment. A
bicycle takes fewer natural resources to make and even combats both
noise and air pollution, therefore, making it a better alternative to cars.

“It is Globe Telecom’s advocacy to reduce our impact to the
environment and support a low carbon future to address climate change.
We want to extend that to our stakeholders, primarily our employees,
and one of the easiest and most effective ways to do it is by
promoting the use of bikes,” said Raymond Martin S. Aguilar, Globe
Head for Operational Risk Management and Business Protection.

Aside from UN Sustainable Development Goal 13 on Climate Change,
Bike2Globe also supports UN SDG 11 on making cities inclusive, safe,
resilient and sustainable through access to affordable and sustainable transport.

During the launch event, the National Bike Organization administered
a forum for Globe employees on bike and road safety while a motorcade
was organized around different stations within Bonifacio Global City
where the Globe headquarters is located. Booths were also set up
featuring various bicycle merchandise, survival kit products, and
Project1Phone eWaste bin.

For those without their own bikes, Globe provides several e-bikes
which employees can use when they have work-related errands around the
area. E-bikes are equipped with an electric motor and pedal power
which can be manually used when battery runs out. Just like the
regular bikes, e-bikes are an affordable and reliable mode of
transportation which do not emit harmful chemicals to the environment.
